Love this result. Swans are rubbish and a team above us loses.  Perfect.

Those late North goals are definitely a massive bonus for us (and anyone else in that group). 

26,000 is a very poor crowd for two melbourne based teams who are based out of the same ground. But goes to show you we're not the only fans who don't turn out to the joint. 

I hope plenty of Dees fans do get down to Etihad, make plenty of noise to will the team on!

well... there go North's chances of the eight .... if they ever had one.

they would need to win eight out of 10. While they have a relatively easy run home it isn't that easy.

If Richmond beat Sydney tomorrow at the MCG that is almost certainly the end for the Swans. (May drop along and watch that match if there is some winter sunshine.)

On that basis we then have five teams who cannot make the 8.

The mathematics is becoming interesting to say the least.

Tough one this afternoon but on balance I will be going for the Swans.

I am hankering after that fourth place on the ladder if by some miracle we have a good finish to the season.

Go the Swanettes !!

Hopefully it's a cracking game but the Swan run out big winners.

Not tough at all, easy as hell Jim.

Swans win  + Demons win = we leapfrog the Tiggers and top 4 is in our sights.

GO SWANSS DESTROY THE TIGER PRETENDERS

A question - given the pre-finals bye would a 5th place finish, with home ground be better than a 4th place finish, away game (most likely in Adel or Syd)?

Feels like the "2 weeks off in a month" scenario of a top 4 win in first week could be a momentum killer, especially for a young team.

Can't decide who I want to lose more... Sydney if they lose pretty much zero chance of making the 8 which gets rid of one of our competitors... but if Richmond lose then opens up that 4th spot in the top 4.... plus I HATE Richmond

Everyone loves the Tigers and I have no idea why.  They don't play a brand of footy, nor have the cattle, that will hold up in September.  Matthew Lloyd was even calling Dimma the 'Coach of the Year'.  I hope they keep pumping up their tires as their fall will be all the more enjoyable when it happens.

Edit - and by everyone I mean them media.  We all know every neutral fan hates the Tigers.

Was responding to Petraccattackers comment about "aiming for 4th spot"... 

and I agree it's too early.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
